From soup to salad .. US plate is full of foreign goods, America should not be hungry in trump affair!

America is called the most powerful economy in the world, but the truth is that a large part of the people who eat there comes from foreign land. After Trump’s new tariff, now these foreign goods have become expensive and the direct effect is falling on the plate of common people. Ever since Donald Trump became President again, he has accelerated the speed of increasing the tariff. According to him, this will make America ‘great again’. But the question arises that when America does not produce so much food itself, will it not vacate the plate of its own by increasing the tax on foreign goods?

Neighbors do not even survive, from tomatoes to maize expensive

The US has imposed 35% tariff on its closest neighbor Canada, while from there it asks for essential items like meat, fish, wheat, maize, oats and maple syrup. Canada accounts for around 12.6% of the imports in imports. Mexico, which sends the most vegetables and fruits to America, has also been imposed 25% tariff. Tomato, avocado, onion, spinach, watermelon, common – like things are needed in America, and most of them come from Mexico. Now tax has also increased on these, which will also increase their prices.

Food comes from all over the world, now every plate is expensive

The flesh of lamb comes from Australia, it has 10% tariff. Orange juice is ordered from Brazil, 50% fee has been imposed on it. China, which sends apple juice and frozen fish to America, has already taxed up to 145% on it, which has now been reduced to 30%. China is also around 13.4% stake.

Chile and Colombia in South America are also taxed. Grape and poultry from Chile, while raw coffee from Colombia. Banana from Guatemala, pineapple to pineapple, cashew pepper from Vietnam, rice from Thailand, butter from Ireland, and cheese from Italy and Olive Oil are part of the US plate. Now all these countries have been imposed tariff ranging from 10% to 39%.

Shrimp comes from India, now it has been taxed

America asks for the most shrimp fish (frozen shrimp) from India. According to the data, in 2023-24, the US imported a shrimp of about $ 2.7 billion from India. But now the Trump government has also imposed 25% tariff on India. Not only this, America has warned India that if it continues to buy oil from Russia, it will be taxed more. However, no official announcement has been made so far.

The common man will suffer due to inflation

The Trump government says that these tariffs will strengthen the domestic industry, but the real question is, does America do so much farming that can meet its needs? The climate and lands there are not worth growing everything. Therefore, it is the only way to ask for things from abroad. In such a situation, when it becomes expensive from tomatoes to oil, the biggest effect will be on the common American pocket and kitchen. The food plate, which was still full of taste around the world, is now slowly becoming empty.
